Now, before you mention that it's been said before, or the thread exists (and is then filled with morons who've no idea what they're speaking about, causing the thread to linger and die), I want this thread to try to stick around. I would really love for an official comment from Bethseda on the matter, if they do such a thing.

Why can we not marry any Khajiit or Bosmer? My Imperial ass has hunted tail à la Uncle Curio since 207ish years ago in a dimly lit tavern in Pelagiad. When Oblivion came out, I was hoping they would at least bring back some sort of tail-hunting options; but alas, my search t'was for naught. Then, SKYRIM is announced - and behold, marriage.

"Finally." I think, as I nod my head slowly, mind filled with thoughts of wild inter-species relations and little half-cat spawn with excellent bartering skills and silver tongues. My excitement begins to mount as I hear more word of it, about same-six relations being acceptable because Tamriel doesn't have our warped and twisted 2,000 years of religious-fueled definition of morality, word of how we can marry "any" NPC; leading me more and more to believe that yes - I will finally nail a Khajiit and have claw-marks to boast over in mead-slurred gloatings by the fire in a tavern. And with good reason, we were never told otherwise.

Then I get Skyrim, I begin my journey, - a renegade Cyrodil they call me, apologies go around, the chopping block - fate, all that good stuff. I set off after that little incident and make my way around the world, battling Deathlords atop glaciers, twin-dragons, droves of undead, cultists, necromancers, vampires and the like. All around the world I travel in search of a Khajiit woman to wed - but none I find. The racial diversity is appalling, and makes little sense. I swear in Morrowind, you saw at least one of every race within the first five minutes of gameplay, and the rest down the street in another town - and with even less reason so than Skyrim! I've only even MET four Khajiit, and I'm told they cannot be wed? WHY? Regardless, dispite Bethseda's apparent obsession with Skwisgaar, I remained hopeful that I would eventually find one. After at least 12 hours of gameplay, I decided that they weren't here, or there was only one hidden somewhere really stupid. I check online and sure enough, I find that it cannot be done.

Not only can it not be done, but Bethseda really went berserk with the Nord obsession. 16 female nords, 20 male nords to marry, and evey other race getting 2, maybe 3 canidates? Yes, we get it Todd, it's Aryan-Nord-Land and literally everyone is a Nord for some reason. It literally gets boring at times to walk into a town and the only people you meet are Skwisgaar and Toki going on about how dragons is dlldos. Sometimes, I forget that I'm in The Elder Scrolls universe until I stumble upon a a troll or some [censored]. I start feeling like I'm in some generic Nord-themed medeval-fantasy game.

Anyway, back on topic. I want an answer as to why we can't marry Khajiit or Bosmer, not stupid people durping and saying things like "MEBE DEY DONT HAFF MARRIGUE DUR" (It's called a Mating Ceremony in their culture.) Not to mention the fact that you can marry Argonians for some bloody reason, and their culture is ever more shrouded in mystery and misconceptions than any other race in Tamriel. I also have a few points to mention in regards to this whole matter: One of the like, four Khajiits in all of Skyrim mention that they're banned from entering cities. I can see this as a half-assed excuse from Bethseda as to why you can't marry them - the only problem is, their own reasoning defeats itself in that regard, considering you can -play- as a Khajiit, not even discover you're Dragonborn, be nothing more than some run-away fugitive in the eyes of the people, and still marry, own property, and jump around rooftops and knock over merchant stands. And I can't even think of a reason as to why you can't marry Bosmer. I wouldn't be surprised if male/female Khajiit/Bosmer actually had the voice files for marriage in game, too.

I kind of feel like Bethseda went so berserk making everyone a gods dammned Nord that they forgot to add any other race, and then quickly shoved the remaining races in afterwards. I would love some actual reasoning behind this, and I would love for Bethseda to actually address the massively inbalanced marriage canidate list.

Patches, included as a bit in some DLC, free or other-wise, an expansion, what have you. Just something, if even just a completely bogus reason.

Completely bogus reason: Khajiit are considered ugly and amorale thieves so nobody wants to marry them except for other Khajiit but they aren't allowed in the city so they can't marry. Bosmer are annoying people that nobody wants to marry not even other Bosmer, period.

Hope this helps

Well, that's about all I've gotten from it from reading countless other threads on the subject. Excluding of course Imperials like myself, or racist Khajiit players who only want to marry within their own race. That of course doesn't make sense if you -play- as a Khajiit.

Besides, Bosmer chicks are cute. At least I think so if they're similar to their Morrowind/Oblivion counterparts. Not that I've EVEN SEEN ANY IN SKYRIM.

If there's no good reason for it and not even any bad reasons, my assumption is that they simply forgot.

Sigh. Is there anyway we can somehow get this question to Bethseda?

Nice Catapult btw, Momaw.

Either an oversigth, or a clear message to the furries.

Will be fixed as soon as the kit is out anyway.

Hah, I'm pretty sure some furries work at Bethseda. The construction kit will fix this amongst other things, of course; but where does that leave the base game - the console versions? I don't even have my PC version yet and am playing on the PS3.

I play as a Khajiit and was wondering the same thing... "Where are all of the beast races??" Well, then I finally found the small band of Khajiit camped outside of Whiterun and I remember one of them saying that they weren't trusted in Skyrim and that the Nords took caution to keep them out of the cities. She went on to talk to another Khajiit about how maybe if they could find a way to gain the trust of the Nords that maybe their caravan would be allowed to trade with the city. I've also seen Khajiit near Riften, I rarely see them alone.

A clear message to the furries? That we are humane? I don't see how this works out. I'd rather play as a Khajiit ingame than RP being a Khajiit IRL lol.

Some of us don't have kits because we play on consoles. What about us?

I, too, am disappointed that we can't marry Khajiits. I'm playing as one and would've preferred to marry one. It also disappoints me that they're so rare on the game. I'm about 15 hours in and I haven't seen one kitty or one lizard anywhere. Considering that the beast races are the most visually interesting races, you'd think that they would be at least as prominent as they were in Oblivion, if nothing else.

I'd pay for DLC that added several Khajiit spouses to choose from.

A non Khajiit wishing to marry a Khajiit? What is this blasphemy?

this help as much as your avatar would help in a philosophical discussion. (no offense)

Yeah, exactly Kloaked Khajiit. I can see this as potentially being Bethsedas half-assed excuse as to why you can't marry a Khajiit. Only the fact that you can PLAY as a Khajiit as you do totally defeats this reasoning. You don't -have- to prove to anyone that you're Dragonborn, you can just run off from Helgan the instant the game begins and make a name for yourself. No one bars you from entering any town for being Khajiit, no potential marriage canidate cares if you're Khajiit (they care if they like you or not), and no one says "NO, I'M NOT GOING TO BARTER WITH YOU, SKOOMA-DEALER.".

It's B.S and I want Bethseda to answer us.

I say we create a petition called the "UNCLE CURIO ACT" to get this matter resolved.

"No offense". Now go learn how to not be a hypocrite, no offense. YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE? Yeh you do. Keep [censored]-posts out of the threads.

STOP, STOP DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A CONFLICT. That is what has happened in EVERY SINGLE OTHER "Why can't we marry _____" thread, and I shan't allow it here.

WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE.

Kloaked, in which direction is that band of Khajiit? I'd love to go find them.

Wait... Although, I agree it seems few none-Nords are available for marraige. It seems rather stupid, to me, that your second gripe is that there are too many Nords in the Nord-homeland, and that it is too Germanic - EH!?

Anyway! I'm sure there will be plenty of NPC Mods out soon enough making even Giants applicable for marraige!

Okay, someone has a bad day.

Argonian, they travel around between the towns in eastern Skyrim. I've seen them outside Dawnstar, Whiterun, Windhelm, and Riften. Sadly, they're the SAME FOUR KHAJIITS. One of them is a handsome male named Khajro and he will be your companion if you retrieve his Moon Amulet for him.

And Celctichugs, yes, I get it, it's Skyrim. It's also just north of Cyrodil (the great melting-pot of the Empire), east of Hammerfell and Highrock, and west of Morrowind. And all of those provinces have more racial-diversity. Especially Morrowind, which didn't even make as much sense.

And also, as stated before, the construction kit would be a good unofficial fix for this. However, it doesn't leave console players with a solution, and it also doesn't leave us with a real answer as to why they did this.

Khajiit marrying isn't popular as there's no Khajiit Maid book.

Well sugar dumplings this is terrible news to my ears, that these noble Nords are being as xenophobic as the Dunmer they hate so much. We should all be getting along in these terrible times, maybe if more saw my plays.

I will support your little petition for a small favor, just a little kiss.

My, my, now there's an excellent idea for my next play, very appreciated my plump little Argonian.

Uncle Curio! Just the man we need for this initiative! With him on our side, securing a Khajiit husband/wife shan't be an issue. Now all we need is Bethsedas' attention.

Seriously, what the hell. You can marry argonians, but not khajiit? I want someone warm and soft to cuddle.

No one wants to marry a flea-riddled cat or a filthy lizard. Not even other flea-riddled cats and filthy lizards.

Such hubris that he thinks his voice speaks for us all. Don't make me cast Voice of the Emperor and make all of your dishes and potions and stuff fly everywhere.
